๐๏ธ Chart tips - view controls
Charts usually auto-adjust their ranges to the input data. This is often what you want, but occasionally it does make it harder to compare charts with different filters applied. A handy tip is to enable the 'Zoom and Pan' option in the top-left. This disables the auto-zoom and pan so then if you change the filter, you can compare the two charts. An example below is the frequency-magnitude chart for all events, compared with the events for just the last month. Enabling the Zoom and Pan means the axes remain the same for both charts.
๐๏ธ eXport Panel
The export panel, located on the right-hand side of 3D views, charts and tables, can be used to generate images, files, and videos with just a couple of clicks.

๐๏ธ Grids
Grids are a dynamic tool used throughout mXrap to form seismic populations, perform calculations and display results.
๐๏ธ Image capturing
You can capture or save any 3D view, chart or table using the 'Clip' or 'File' options at the top-right of the mXrap window. There are additional image capturing controls available to increase the quality and to adjust what is captured in the image.
๐๏ธ Long Paths and Root Mapping
There is an old restriction from the 1990s in the Microsoft Windows OS that limits the maximum file path to 260 characters. This limit is too low in modern work environments, and users can easily reach this limit.
๐๏ธ Quick Reference Guide
Most users are probably aware of the Quick Reference Guide in the Cheat Sheets. It lists all the mXrap shortcuts and hotkeys but it is spread over a few pages and can be a bit tough to find what you're looking for. Below is a one-page Quick Reference Guide for more of a visual lookup of the main controls. The controls for the new Annotations tool are not included but help for those controls is available in mXrap itself. Here is the PDF version of the one-page guide if you want to print a copy.
